I'm not sure about anyone else here, but I don't like to focus on the good things that people do in their work as much as I like to focus on the bad things. The same way I focus on anything I do. I'm always picking out what's wrong with the piece and setting anything good aside. Even though I find this helps myself to learn from mistakes and hopefully become a better artist, should I critique others work the same way? I mean some people take criticism pretty hard, even putting aside their work for long periods of time because they seem to think they've failed for some reason. However, I don't think false praise should be given out as much as it is. Maybe I seem a little brutish but no one gets better from constant praise. Note: Not targeting the people at the BioRUST forums, just people in general.
